the supporting handle 15, conoidal head 17 and the rearwardly directed cleaning collar 16. o

The brush is constructed as follows: The handle 15 is reduced forming the sten1'18 and shoulder 19. The point 17 is formed by doubling a peripheral collar of bristles upon themselves intermediate their ends, and approximately at their mid-portion, and

clampingly retaining said double bristles upon the end of the stem by the retaining wires 21 associated with the double portion 20 of the bristles forming the head 17.

When it is desiredto elongate the brush, a

peripheral collar portion is formed by addi-- secured on the reduced handle or stem by a clamping wire or wires 25.
